SCIENCE The science department at Mazama was filled with many teachers and numerous classes. Six teachers belonged to this department. They were Mike Kern, Gerald Green, Gary Nichols, Bryon Van Fleet, Larry Wagner and Pat Ward. There were nine different courses offered. These included General Science, Introduction to Physical Science, Biology. Zoology, Chemistry, Advanced Chemis- try, Physics, Advanced Physics, and Human Anatomy and Physiology. The science department was responsible for var- ious special projects. The anatomy students, under the guidance of Mr. Van Fleet and accompanied by the anatomy students from K.U., went on their annual Field trip to SOSC in Ashland. The college students gave them a tour of the campus. The high school students viewed reptiles, hearts, and fetuses. They also had the opportunity to listen to a college level anatomy lecture. Other science projects which occurred during the year included the dissection of cats by the anatomy students and the dissection of fetal pigs by Mr. Nichols' zoology class. In addition to being teachers, several of the science instructors participated in other activities.

SOCIAL STUDIES When one thinks of social studies, things that come to mind are maps, studying foreign countries, and taking a lot of notes. That’s exactly what goes on in Mazama's social studies department. When a student enters Mazama as a freshman, he gets to look forward to three years of social studies classes including global studies, U.S. histo- ry, citizenship, and economics. Students who re- ceive an A in global studies as well as in U.S. history become eligible to take Advanced Place- ment history their senior year. By successfully completing this class and passing the A.P. test, which is administered in May, students receive college credit as well as the opportunity to increase their knowledge of history. Due to the fact that all students are required to take three years of social studies, the social studies teachers would like to add one staff member to their department to help handle the large number of students. Mr. Todd, department head, com- mented, Because classes are so big, the rooms are too crowded and it is hard to teach to bigger classes and to help individuals. The department teachers would also like to have some extra space so they could do some special projects in their classes. Besides keeping busy educating students, the social studies teachers were involved in other ac- tivities. Mr. Anderson coached both wrestling and varsity baseball, Mr. Everitt was the varsity football and track coach, Mr. McDaniel coached varsity basketball, and Mr. Palmer coached J.V. football, basketball, and softball. Meeting and discussing department business is Mr. Everitt and Mr. Palmer. Mr. Palmer completed his first year as part of the Ma ama staff. Smiling innocently as he types a test is Mr. Everitt. In addition to teaching Mr. Everitt coached football. Writing on the blackboard. Mr. Anderson illustrates a point to his students. Mr. Anderson taught a special class for seniors called Contemporary Family Life. Looking around the classroom, Mr. McDaniel watches his students take a Citizenship test: Are you cheating.' 112-Social Studies
